Disable custom CSS & HTML?

beardedgit

Is there a quick and easy way to temporarily disable all custom CSS & HTML in one go so that I can get a look at how my site looks without it? I'm concerned that any bug-fixes that SM might apply could be "masked" by the patches that I've put in place myself.

I know that I can go into each content block and comment-out stuff using /* */ and <!-- --> but that's a tad messy when there are so many blocks, and it's prone to user-error.

Am I missing a trick in Firefox Developer Tools and/or Firebug?

Hi Beardedgit,

There is no way to turn on or off the HTML/CSS Blocks on your site. I am not sure what bug fixes or patches you are referring to.

You can surely go in and comment out your code to see it without the code there while still leaving it in place.

If you have any other questions please feel free to ask us.

Have you tried setting a gallery to "hide owner" for a quick check?

I believe WebDev has a disable for individual style sheets.

Yeah, I said that:

Thanks, Allen. I hadn't tried that but I have now, works OK for Galleries
I take it that there's no similar trick for Entire Site, Homepage, Folders, Pages and other UI bits such as the Contact Form.

Thanks again, I'll check it out.

I opened the edit CSS box in WebDev and "select all" delete each CSS tab then undo "cntl z" to check.
At least for the "combo" tabs.
